Exactly. It is fiction! How come that too much attention is given to these Korean nitpickers who have too much…
Calling me an idiot, and you're the one who can't read.
They don't have to put any disclaimer; they have to write a script properly that actually explains the world they built. It's literally writing 101.
Just say you don't care about the story, and we can move on. It's nothing new in the Kdrama world. Most people only watch it for the cute or brainless scenes, and that's not a problem, but don't come here and say, "It's just a fiction."
I'm pretty sure this was IU's first MBC drama; I think it's her last one as well.
I get that actors have to apologize because no one gives a damn about the people behind the camera; 99% of people couldn't name a single person without using Google, but it still irritates me.
I think MBC released a statement too before this, but no one cared, so they basically forced IU and BWS to help them out, yet again.
The face of the project takes the credit, and they take the blame as well. I don't like it, but this is how this industry works because people let it.
As for the argument, "It's just a fiction." Yes, it is, but some parts still have to be accurate. This isn't a 100% made-up world; they put Joseon in the 21st century, and it's a Korean drama, not a Chinese one.
If they want to add other elements or cultural representations, they should've clarified in the story why this world exists and what the rules are. But the writer and the production crew failed to do any of these because they didn't care. They know IU and BWS can carry their poorly written drama, and most people will eat it up.
I mean, does she have brains? She's now married to a guy who doesn't want a job.😂
Lovely Runner is worse because they mixed a romcom with a thriller and a really poorly written time-traveling plot. That's the problem with it, nothing else.
Exactly. It is fiction! How come that too much attention is given to these Korean nitpickers who have too much…
Firstly, it's a fiction, but some parts still have to be accurate, like a coronation. It's a KOREAN drama, not a CHINESE one.
Secondly, it's not just Koreans. I've seen a lot of people complaining about these things in other countries. Not Kdramas, I'm talking about other shows or movies.
Being fiction is not an excuse. Unless it's 100% fiction, like sci-fi, and you created a whole new world, but they didn't. They just put Jeoson in the 21st century basically.
To people who ask, "Why do they have to apologize?"
Because no one gives a shit about the crew behind the camera. Is it fair to the LEAD actors? No, but this comes with the job.
Even if you see a production team apologizing publicly, no one will care because 99% of people who watch a movie or a Kdrama can't name a single person behind the camera.
Even if they made a mistake like this crew did, people will blame THE FACE OF THE PROJECT.
I think this battle will be tough but we shouldn't give up!😺LOL. I checked what rate did you give this drama.…
I didn't misunderstand anything.
Coincidence? I'd agree if she hadn't had the same nails since EP1. Maybe she just loves that style. 😅 From a chaebol, I expect more. 1 "Hotel del Luna" episode can eat alive the whole "Perfect Crown" when it comes to styling. Like, she had 5 different outfits, hairstyles, and nails in every episode. 😂
I wouldn't say BWS is a good actor, he's a decent actor who can do a job if the script is good enough.
Yeah, when a drama is poor but the actor has actually done a good job that's when you know they're good. Like Steve Noh or Gong Seung Yeon here.
I always comment on MDL, but talking about kdramas lately is just exhausting. You can't even give a normal opinion…
Exactly. It's like a kindergarten fight. People don't know what critical thinking is or just don't want to do it, and what's worse, they don't want anyone to do it. Just give a 10/10 and move on.
Like, what's the point of talking to someone who is nodding their heads like the puppy on the car dashboard?
the problem is that both sides want to be right and none is looking to have their opinion changed so there is…
I don't want to be right, not always, but when I know I'm right, like when I say a script was written poorly, there are a lot of plot holes. That's not about personal taste because it's a fact. It's just most people ignore it because they have different standards or want different things from a drama or a movie.
My problem is that when people say, "I don't like this drama," "I don't think the leads are a good match," etc., they call them haters.
I mean, does she have brains? She's now married to a guy who doesn't want a job.😂
First of all, I'm a man. Secondly, having a job and saying women need to have babies is not the same thing.
It's common sense. What's the point of being with someone who doesn't have a job for years? Like, let's stop thinking real life is a Disney fairy tale.
Having a job is not a "specific role" it's something everyone has to do to survive.
Why are you overcomplicating this? A job or work doesn't matter. Ian doesn't have either.
If the shoe fits, it's not my fault; if not, you don't have a problem.
Most people do give a free pass to MLs because they're cute, but at the same time they call other characters toxic, red flag, losers etc, that's what I was talking about.
Now, people are acting as if women would date a guy who hasn't had a job for 3 years just because he's handsome. Nonsense. Like I said, real life is not a fairy tale. No one would stick to a person who doesn't want to work.
The real Huiju would've filed for divorce the minute he demolished the monarchy, but she sure would've done it if the guy hadn't had a job for 3 years.
Anyone who wants to deny this only focuses on the cute romance.
I think this battle will be tough but we shouldn't give up!😺LOL. I checked what rate did you give this drama.…
Using SNS is part of my job, but I also love writing, and I don't use blogs anymore. So technically I'm paid to write but not on X.
"With visuals I meant it's a "pretty" drama. The environment, costumes, actors - of course."
Oh, okay, It was good, but Huiju having the same nails for 3+ years was kind of cheap, and I never notice things like that. 😂
BWS isn't a top-tier actor, and I don't think romcom suits him, he's more of a villain type of guy. And if you don't give him a good writer and director, he's gonna struggle.
When his character was more than just a puppy or a moody Prince he was better.
I think this battle will be tough but we shouldn't give up!😺LOL. I checked what rate did you give this drama.…
Now, imagine the comments I get from IU fans reading my rants week after week on X. They call me a hater, but they don't know I was an IU fan way before most of them or even all of them because I've been a UAENA since 2008 when no one cared about IU.
Tbh, I don't think the visuals were that good. It was good but nothing special. The cinematography was average, the script was poor, and the OST was average as well. I don't think there was an actual decent original score in this drama, so the only thing that actually was good is the acting.
BTW, I won't give up; I don't care if people call me a hater or anything. I won't give higher scores for anything just because my fave is in it. If I can make some clueless people angry, that's a bonus. 😂
Do you think people are ever going to learn that fair criticism doesn't equal hate?
People in Kpop and Kdrama fandoms only know two sides. You're either a blindfolded fan or a hater; there's no middle ground. That's why most romcoms also don't have a middle ground. 😂
He still has his job bro like the foundation (mostly charity foundation like hi aide cho said), he is just doing…
A foundation is not a real job and he said it himself that he doesn't have job because Hyeon literally told him women don't like unemployed men, and he asked, "Really?" 😂
Also, it's not like Huiju had the best life ever and nobody wanted to unalive her multiple times, yet she's still working. Ian never had a real job. He just had to sign some papers and meet with people.
I honestly think IU was given the original script during casting, because there’s no way someone as selective…
No actor on this planet ever gets the full story of a weekly show because it's not finished. They can only get the 1st episode or 2 or 3 at best. The webnovel is basically just fixing all the mistakes the writer did in the drama; this isn't the original script. This is a prequel, and the actors couldn't play teens in the drama anyway.
IU herself said the director asked her to play teen Huiju because he didn't want to cast another actress. Why? Because that would be more expensive, not to mention no IU in the first couple of episodes.
People cannot be satisfied. Like if it’s a 16 episode drama people say it drags, if a 12 episode drama they…
You can't satisfy everyone, but if you don't even try, what can you do? The writer just put 2 really popular actors on the cover, and that's all she/they did. Like, even their romance was lacking. I'm not talking about chemistry even tho I've seen much better, even with IU, I'm talking about the writing of their relationship.
And we didn't mention the other characters and plots.
You know, I always say Kdrama fans can't surprise me anymore, but they did it again.Since when have people been…
I love how SOME Kdrama fans with their blindfolded love always prove my point. For example, @LilyOfTheValley came here ranting while saying she doesn't care about my opinion and calling me a hater, then blocked me. But I'm the one who needs education. 😅
Just because your pretty ex-prince has a foundation doesn't mean he has a job. He himself asked when Hyeon said to him, "Women don't like men who don't have a job," and your prince asked, "Really?" Ergo, Ian doesn't have a job. I'm only stating the obvious, that's not hate.
I've been a fan of IU since 2008 when nobody gave a damn about her. I don't care about commercial success and numbers. You're probably a success stan, I only stan talent and quality. You're a fake fan who gives 10/10 to everything. I criticize my own faves' work. Trust me, IU and every other artist appreciate real and fair opinions more than blind love.
You can be swayed by cute lovey-dovey scenes, I only care about a properly written script and character. We don't have that in Perfect Crown. You can love it, I don't care, but only toxic fools call people "haters" for their opinions.
Also, talking about someone's mental health is disrespectful to say the least, and you wanna come here and educate people. Kiddo, go back to school and learn basic manners, and stop using your obsessed Kdrama fangirl brain.
"Besides they showed that huiju started working again after three years does that mean she was jobless for three years."
Yeah, but the difference is that Huiju actually rich and worked hard for her money and had to wait for 3 years till she could get her job back. Meanwhile, your prince never had a job and was way paid by commoners.
"Anyways taking a break doesn't mean relying on wife to pay bills.He wasn't as rich as huiju but as a prince he must have had enough money to live a normal life without working."
This is how I know you're a kid still. Taking a break is not wrong, and finding a job isn't easy; trust me, I know. I have worked in the entertainment industry for over 2 decades now. But as I already told you, the fact is there. Ian himself said he doesn't want to work, and he didn't know women hate men who don't have a job. Like, open your eyes for the love of God and look beyond his pretty face.
At least I can say I'm not an obsessed fan who calls everyone a hater, and I judge everything based on quality, not based on my love for the artists.
with that list, it's sure what your standards are. there is no way you can like this
I've been a UAENA since 2008, and I rate it a 6/10. Don't generalize people.
The rating has nothing to do with IU or BWS, this is an ongoing thing with every romcom. Lovely Runner was much worse, and it was overhyped too even tho neither of the leads were mainstream.
Would You Marry Me, Love Next Door and that Sex Phone nonsense were also overhyped, and all 3 were bang average at best.
What are you trying to say? Where's the crazy part and wheres fair unfair comparison. Did you try reading what…
I'm not trying to do anything, let alone convince you. Also, just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I have to love everything.
Trust me, I work with artists; they want real and fair opinions, not blind love.
Like you said, "those scenes be a some 1 minute shorts" This sums up perfectly what's wrong with Perfect Crown. 😂 Even the romcom part is lacking.
But yeah, I know most Kdrama fans who love romcoms can be swayed with 1 or 2 cute scenes. I mean, that's the whole reason romcoms are still the most popular genres. If you ask ChatGPT to write you a Kdrama it could do it, I'm sure. All you need is a popular and good-looking lead, some random plot, put a Jinmu in every scene to make the lovers' lives a bit miserable, and the story is done. 😅

This is peak storytelling, top-tier writing, directing, and acting.
This drama should be hyped as fck.
